Get Permission for an UNC Path

Posted byiamfazulPosted inShared Drives

This specific requirement came to me when there was a file server migration.
having thousands of shared paths with different sets of permissions was an issue before we moved into DFS and this little script saved my time.

$path = Read-host “Enter a UNC Path: ”

write-host
"File Sharing Permissions Report - $path"
Write-Host
 
$acl = Get-Acl $path
 
Write-Host "File/NTFS Permissions"
Write-Host
 
foreach($accessRule in $acl.Access)
{
    Write-Host " * " $accessRule.IdentityReference $accessRule.FileSystemRights
}
